Why would you get bushings as opposed to upper control arms?

Do you think the dynamic camber gain via caster increase is enough? I have my doubt, but happy to be wrong.

For a street car at OE ride height the cost of UCA's doesn't substantiate the benefits on my end.

I'll post my results up as I go, whenever that happens. The popular G37 site won't get the thread because I haven't been able to confirm my account there. :icon14:

...^^this.

If I can get good results for less than $200 worth of parts, it's a good start over $800ish on upper arms that are decent quality. The huge gap between the very pricey SPL/Voodoo 13 arms and cheapie Chinese junk is frustrating.

While I'm here, on a scale of "garbage" to "forged by the minions of Satan and blessed by Archangel Gabriel", where would you guys put Megan Racing's arms?

My guess is probably not good by seeing prior comments on their products.

Chinese junk. Past posts on this is that they won't hold the camber setting. The ball joint keeps sliding in.

Just like the SPC FUCA (non xAxis version)....except for the one pair where someone welded a bracket and used a screw to push and hold the nut in its place.

Yeah, they welded a nut to the arm and used a bolt to hold the ball joint in place. Forget who that was.
